KEY TO THESE SUCCESSES • Crucial to have a supportive board providing direction and support. • Team approach – getting coaches, volunteers, clubs working together for the benefit of the athletes and the sport in general • You can’t do everything at once. • You’ll make mistakes along the way, but learn from these rather than dwell on them.
KEY TO THESE SUCCESSES • Get out there and talk to people: athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers • Use the knowledge of those with experience and a passion for the sport around you. Approach people to help. Don’t wait for them to offer. • Make the most of the organisations around you who are able to provide support.
